Dental Crowns

Our dental crowns are carefully crafted from durable materials—porcelain or ceramic—depending on the specific needs of each patient.

Crowns are designed to cover and encase a damaged tooth, providing a protective barrier while maintaining the tooth’s natural appearance. Each crown is custom-shaped to properly fit within your smile. This makes sure your teeth remain functional with a completely natural look.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges at Tong Dental Care are constructed using high-quality materials like porcelain fused to metal or all-ceramic options, which are chosen based on your needs and aesthetic goals. Bridges consist of one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Their primary purpose is to fill the gap left by missing teeth, restoring both the functionality and appearance of your smile. Each bridge is custom-made for a precise, perfect fit, easily blending in alongside your natural teeth for a stable, long-term solution to the gap.

Aesthetic Enhancement
Both crowns and bridges are custom made to match your natural teeth color, shape and size, so you get a harmonious and natural looking smile.

Restoration of Function
These restorations let you eat, speak, and smile with confidence, restoring the function of your teeth.

Improved Confidence
With a restored, natural-looking smile, patients often experience a boost in self-esteem and comfort in social interactions.

Here’s What to Expect

At Tong Dental Care, we plan and execute the crowns and bridges process with great care to achieve the best results. Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Consultation: It all starts with a thorough consultation where we assess your dental needs, discuss your goals, and determine if crowns or bridges are the way to go. We also use advanced technology to get a 3D view of your teeth and surrounding areas.

Tooth Preparation: For crowns, the tooth is carefully shaped to make room for the crown. For bridges, the adjacent teeth that will support the bridge are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crowns that will anchor the bridge.

Impressions and Custom Design: After preparation, we take precise digital impressions of your teeth. These impressions are sent to our state-of-the-art dental lab where your custom crown or bridge is made with high quality materials like porcelain, ceramic or metal. This ensures the final restoration fits perfectly and matches your natural teeth.

Temporary Placement: While your custom restoration is being made, we place a temporary crown or bridge to protect your teeth and keep you functional.

Final Fitting and Placement: Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, we remove the temporary restoration and fit the permanent one. Adjustments are made to get a perfect fit and bite. The crown or bridge is then bonded in place, and you’re done!

Follow-Up Care: After the procedure, we give you detailed care instructions to help you look after your new crown or bridge. We also book a follow-up appointment to check everything is working as expected and you’re happy with the results.
